it would be very easy to make a template like that in photoshop by using one layer with the ovals cut out of it and then dropping peoples pictures behind it |

Agreed but i would like somthing even faster. Idealy it would be somthing like a drag and drop. Drop the pics in the oval. Click on name type name and poof your done.
Labs have somthing similar built into most of there ordering software. Drag and drop type stuff but i just no there has to be a photoshop action or script out there that someone has coem up with. OR even a plug-in that would work.
thanks |

basically what I said to so would be drag and drop after you make the origonal template. Just make the origonal template in the same resolution as the images you will be dragging and dropping in and poof there you go. It would take about 5 minutes to make a template for that and then you could just reuse it. |

Hmmm yes true it would kinda work i guess and is an option witch i may have to do. One real prob i could think of is the size of the file some of our classess go to 100-200 people in it and file size could get very big why'll working on it. But it may be a half to thing. Thanks for the help.

A friend of mine who owns a maxi photo lab and most of his work is school photos (like the one you posted) payed $A50,000 to have software specially written for such type of work as this.
There may be shareware available but I think manual manipulation is going to be the surest and cheapest way

OMG guys came across a GREAT piece of software called FOTOFUSION. Available at www.lumapix.com
Its great for doing any kinda of quick albums like wedding albums and such but one awsome thing it can do quick adn i mean quick is class composite. Just sit up a template and tell it to read from the file names and you can just go through and click away droping and moveing images around. I mean its is FAST so much faster than photoshop. If anyone is interest just pm your email and i'll send my composite template for fotofusion to get ya started if your looking.
PS. studio version is what you need if your doing really big composites. |
